In this article, we will break down 5 key steps to help you create an eco-friendly lifestyle for yourself and spread the word on how others can follow your footsteps.

Everyone is aware of climate change and how important it is to reduce our carbon footprint. It’s becoming increasingly evident that if we do not start doing things to lower our carbon emissions, we will have caused irreversible damage to our planet. Although many of us are unsure of what changes we can make, there are some that have already started looking into ways to be more eco-friendly. In fact, the current generation – Generation Z – are some of the most eco-conscious people in 2021, being dubbed as ‘generation green’.

So, if you’re looking to become an eco-conscious homeowner or even a renter, then this guide will help you out.

Recycling and communicating proper disposal are the main strategies that are used to prevent waste from ending up in our nature, waterways and our oceans. Truthfully, these strategies still require improvements to be fully effective, which is why it is so important, whether you are on land or at sea, to encourage beachgoers and guests to recycle.

In this blog you’ll find useful strategies that you can incorporate into your operations.

Sea Going Green recently had the pleasure to interview Iris Overeem from the Recycled Island Foundation, a non-profit based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands to discuss their efforts to solve the issue of plastic pollution!

Their “plastic traps” catch floating plastic and upcycle it to close the loop by making it into a floating island structure, which can also function as an urban space for biodiversity and also city dwellers!

Check out this week’s blog to find out more about what inspired this project, how it works and its ambitions to become a new urban solution!
